***Official New Zealand in India Nov-Dec 2021 Thread***

As I said yesterday, India have a paper thin lower order. All downhill skiers after Jadeja
Its not as helpless at home tbf. Ashwin and Axar can bat a bit while Umesh is not the worst number ten going tbf.

Although obviously if this was in NZ , this pair and what comes would not last the session.

Is this downhill though? May be once Southee goes off.

Could really do with a spinner bowling a good spell next.

Should retire now Saha, absolute scandal he is playing in this test team at 37.

Thankfully NZ did not lower the tone by over-celebrating the wicket of this absolute mug.
Yeah, I assume he's there as a safe stop gap for this match but we could have gained more by blooding Bharat.

Its pointless, you don't get many chances to blood back ups so this was as good as time as any to pick Bharat.

Next test and this is very melodramatic if he plays, I'd nearly be tempted to have Ashwin bat ahead of him.
